"The Mad Cow" does not refer to madness. Rather, it is about Barney and Savannah dealing with environmental issues such as mad cow disease. Mostly, this little book is about harmony and coming together in peace. Children should enjoy the adventure of the big cows and the little cows. Parents should go out and do something about treating animals with care. Karl McKnight

“Catching4Kids – small targets” is a primer for young catchers to perform, get better... build a foundation to expand, improve and grow. As the catcher improves, as the competition increases, more techniques can be added, expanding the catcher's scope based on need and ability. I suggest that baseball/ softball organizations (little leagues, rec councils, amateur groups) adopt this as a standard for teaching their young catchers; ages from 6-7 to 12 (and up). In doing so, you have an instructional path for your catchers and have provided the tools for your coaches.
